Happy Friday! As another busy week wraps up on our shop floor at 66 E. Main Street, we love spotting our work out and about on the roads and downtown streets of Western New York.

🚑 Full & Partial Vehicle Wraps: Municipal, emergency, and commercial fleet packages.
🪟 Storefront & Window Graphics: Perforated vinyl, frosted privacy film, and bold brand lettering.
🪧 Outdoor Signs & Banners: Heavy-duty yard signs, dimensional building signage, and event displays.

The honest truth about corporate holiday gifts: Nobody needs another paperweight. 😅🎁 (And the cutoff date is closer than you think!)

If your company, medical practice, or non-profit plans to thank clients or staff with branded gifts this holiday season, now is the week to lock it in.

Between apparel embroidery windows, custom imprint queues, and holiday shipping schedules, waiting until December usually means paying expedited rush fees or settling for leftover inventory.

At Falconer Printing, we help local Western New York businesses build high-quality holiday gift packages that people actually keep and use:
🧥 Premium Branded Outerwear & Hoodies: High-end fleece, vests, and jackets with sharp custom embroidery.
☕ Durable Thermal Drinkware: Laser-engraved tumblers and coffee mugs that look great on any desk.
🎒 Custom Tech & Work Gear: Branded backpacks, portable chargers, and field notebooks.
💌 Custom Gold-Foil / Soft-Touch Holiday Cards: Complete with variable, data recipient addressing so you don’t have to hand-write 200 envelopes!

Whether you need 15 executive gift boxes or 300 crew fleeces, you pick the gear, we handle the artwork, printing, embroidery, and boxing right here in Falconer.

👇 Quick Question for Business Owners & Employees: What is the best (or worst!) company holiday gift you’ve ever received? Drop it in the comments below! 👇

Stop juggling three different vendors just to send one mailing. 🛑📦

If your direct mail process looks like this:
1. Designer sends a file

4. Someone pays full retail postage at the post office…
There is a much better, cheaper way. 💡

At Falconer Printing, we manage your entire direct mail campaign completely in-house, from initial layout to the mailbox, under one roof at 66 E. Main Street in Falconer:

⚙️ Automated Folding, Inserting & Tabbing: Done on our high-speed shop equipment so your team never has to touch an envelope.
💰 Maximum Postage Discounts: Because we presort, barcode, and deliver directly to the postal distribution facility, your mailings qualify for commercial automation rates, saving you substantial money over standard postage costs!

You provide the message. We handle the design, the printing, the envelope inserting, the postal paperwork, and the physical delivery.
